Arab activists buy $800,000 boat for Gaza flotilla

AMMAN - Arab activists have purchased a boat to join a Gaza-bound aid flotilla aimed at breaking Israel's five-year blockade on the Palestinian territory, a leading Jordanian unionist said on Wednesday.

Sounds to me that they are truly pushing for conflict. What do you think? Is it a good Idea to break the blockade?

There should not be a blockade at all. But that is just my opinion and view. The people do not deserve to be in such a position, despite whether the leading political party is a "terrorist" group or not, why should the people suffer?

there will be no conflict, they are going to dock in Egypt they will inspect the goods and then the goods will make the transfer over the Egypt-Gaza border.




peace

Remove the blockade and Israel will have to resort to conducting more frequent air strikes and counter-insurgency raids.

The Naval Blockade serves two purposes;

1. Practical : Reduces the need for Israel to conduct the above raids and strikes. (Israel do more than any other Western power to avoid civilian casualties)

2. Political : Pressures Hamas to release Gilad Shalit. (the IDF soldier that was abducted back in 06)


Please find below, the suffering of Palestinians in the city of Gaza;



They may suffer from poor coverage on their iphone 4's though, this is unconfirmed.

My friend, how is starving a wounded dog ever ok?

The Zionsist will not quit until they cause a great war, AGAIN! They hope to be what is left of the human race in the aftermath, that they might build their evil temple and resume sacrafice, many times human sacrafice.

There is no question as to whether the blockade should be ran. IT IS WRONG TO STARVE PEOPLE!!

IT IS WRONG TO DENY PERSONS MEDICAL CARE!

The blockade must be met with iron resistance, and the bravery of young men and women must be used to defend what is good in the human spirit. They must continue their actions that bespeak high valor, and a true expression of empathy. Hoorah you brave humans, you who stand against the Temples Tryranny, HOORAH!!

There is no Israel. Get with the program.

There is a thin line between being brave and being stupid.

There is no courage in setting sail for the Naval Blockade, only stupidity.

What did Racheal Corrie prove by standing infront of a moving bull dozer?

She proved it was not a smart thing to do.

Did people learn from this?

Evidently not.
